About the Author
William Sims Bainbridge is an American sociologist, futurist, and influential scholar of religion, technology, and social behavior. His work examines how institutions, belief systems, and emerging technologies shape individual and collective life, often bringing empirical research into conversation with questions about meaning, control, and social change. He is known for interdisciplinary scholarship that connects sociology with studies of science, computing, virtual worlds, and the future of human society. His notable work, Religion, Deviance, and Social Control, reflects his sustained interest in the relationships among religious communities, social norms, and mechanisms of regulation.
